Cookies with poppy

This recipe belongs to Turkish cuisine and all what's in it is so, so simple...

250-300 gr flour

5 tbs sugar

1/2 pack. of backing powder

1 tbs poppy seeds

a pinch of salt

1 egg

125 gr butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix well all "wet" ingredients. Add the rest of them and mix all till results a dough with a smooth texture. Let the dough stay in a cool place for about 30 minutes. Cut the dough into small pieces giving them a ball shape(by a walnut size). Bake them in preaheated oven, at 180 C. After 5 minutes get the pan out and make small halls onto the top of the balls and then, bake the balls again till all become goldish. Remove the coockies from oven and let them to cool. In those halls you can put small pieces of thick jam (I used rose jam).

Or, from the dough, you can bake 2 strings (like some cylinders) . Remove tehm from the oven, let'em stay away (to become just warm) and cut biscuits from it. You can serve them with rose jam or any other type of jam. As you like...
